British teeth William Leith

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 28 January 2010

This was very quick to read and a little disappointing after his last book about being overweight which I found really amusing and had some very useful information which I followed and have lost a little weight. I think the teeth book may have come out first. I learned one thing though from British Teeth which is never bother to have a tooth crowned it is excrutiatingly painful and very expensive so if I ever need one I will insist on an extraction instead. British teeth is loosely about the class system in Britain which is something I find a bit dull as I am working class and don't feel the need to pretend to be otherwise! If you come from Hull I guess you may find it a bit odd as there's a joke in it that says where's the strangest place you've had sex and the answer is Hull. I guess if you live in Hull you have sex there all the time! This is a great book to leave in a dentists waiting room if you are a sadist! By the time the dentist sees you you will be running out of the door and will, very probably, have read it as it is very short like I said.
